there is a serious battle of attrition going on in debaltseve...this fairly impartial analysis concludes that ukrainian troops are once again back inside uglegorsk, a critical junction from which they were dislodged a few days ago. NAF probably has not seen such resilience aside from maybe the battle of donetsk airport. all the talk of closing the pocket, which began almost simultaneously with the onset of this battle, and have permeated all discussions on this phase of the war, have so far not been substantiated by facts on the ground.

It was an honest toss up on whether this 'story' should have been posted here or in the "What the Heck." thread. (Changed to the actual name of the thread. The initial name was disallowed because of the rules about profanity and acronyms that refer to it)
While not at all belittling the deaths of those civilians, 16 deaths being headlined as 'catastrophic' is just plain desperate.

And the thousands of civilian deaths in the shelling of cities held by militia caused by Kiev artillery and rockets is ignored.

Militia claimed to have used Su-35 to raid a Kiev convoy bringing reinforcements into the cauldron.
Forces of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic in southeastern Ukraine reported that they carried out their first airstrike against a convoy of the Ukrainian army, which was heading with reinforcements to the troops surrounded in Debaltseve.
DONETSK (Sputnik) — Forces of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic in southeastern Ukraine have carried out its first airstrike against Kiev-led forces, a spokesperson for the militia headquarters said Wednesday.
“Our Su-25 surprisingly appeared in the sky above the Artemivsk-Debaltseve highway and attacked a convoy of the Ukrainian army, which was heading with reinforcements to the troops surrounded in Debaltseve,” the spokesperson told RIA Novosti, adding that no information about possible casualties is yet available.
The Luhansk forces acquired the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Sukhoi Su-25 jet in July 2014 after shooting it down and forcing it to land on their territory.
The town of Debaltseve in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region has been at the forefront of increased clashes between Kiev-led forces and local pro-independence supporters in recent days. Thousands of Ukrainian troops are believed to be trapped in the town.
On Tuesday, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe called for a temporary truce in Debaltseve to allow for the urgent evacuation of civilians, as well as the immediate resumption of reconciliation talks.
The armed conflict has raged in eastern Ukraine since April last year, when Kiev launched a military operation against the region’s independence supporters who opposed Ukraine’s new post-coup government. More than 5,300 people have been killed and 12,200 have been wounded in the conflict, according to the latest UN estimates
